PdfParse review
A schema-based PDF extraction workflow with human review, exports, and API access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PdfParse turns PDFs such as invoices, bank statements, and inspection reports into structured records. Teams define custom fields and related tables, then submit documents by upload, project inbox, or API. Classification, routing, PDF splitting, and human review are part of the workflow, so it suits small teams that need to structure incoming documents and check extracted records against source pages. It is less suited to buyers seeking a broad integration catalog or a non-cloud deployment.
The Free plan costs $0 as a one-time offering and includes 20 pages total, 50 MiB of storage, REST API, TypeScript SDK, webhooks, and MCP. Basic is $29.99 per month; Pro is $79.99 per month; Enterprise is $129.99 per month. Each paid plan lists automated email intake and extraction, classification, routing and PDF splitting, human review, custom schemas and queryable tables, CSV, JSON and SQLite exports, plus the same API, SDK, webhook, and MCP access. The listed features do not distinguish the paid tiers, so buyers should compare the plans carefully before choosing one.
Its workflow breadth is a practical fit when documents need more than field capture: mixed PDFs can be split into logical sections, routed by classification, and reviewed against their source pages before export. The integration path includes REST API, TypeScript SDK, webhooks, and MCP, with Zapier also listed as in testing. PdfParse is cloud-based, and docs are the listed support channel. Choose it for schema-based extraction with review and portable outputs; look elsewhere if a tested, extensive integration ecosystem or a different deployment model is central to the decision.
